Jewelry in the Sunset

Happy Birthday la FiFi!!

On Saturday my model girl and I did a photo shoot out at the old abandoned military base. It's a fun place to take photos, but the city is increasingly allowing the public to rent out the huge buildings and office spaces. This makes it difficult to find a quiet, decaying area to take photos!!!

At one point we were run off by a large truck setting up an event at the old Officer's Club. But I think we managed to get some nice shots in spite of the traffic. It was Miss Fifi's birthday, so we had lunch at the charming Wescafe and had cupcakes for dessert. mmmmmmm

Halloween Jewelry....on Etsy now!

The JAM!

September 12 and 13th Babette Henri had a booth at the Webster Street Jam in Alameda, CA.

I met a lot of Babette fans and had fun despite the rain.

New Jewelry added to my ETSY!!!

My First Attempts in PMC

These are the little things I made in PMC class.  I just can't stop looking at them. I can't believe that those small lumps of stamped clay became real silver! Unbelievable! I can't wait to really explore the medium and make things that reflect my own style. 

Learning about PMC

I recently took a class in Precious Metal Clay. When I first heard about it, I really was so excited! This is a medium I know- CLAY!!!! I've got a major in Ceramic Sculpture and I've been making miniatures in Fimo for a long long time. So for me, PMC might just open up a whole new way of making jewelry , and my sketch book is getting crammed full of ideas. 

My Cancer Support Team- My best friends- (whom I consider my family)- have been very supportive of my decision to explore this new medium, and they have helped me get a torch, metal clay and other necessities.  I can't tell you how this sort of support really encourages me to create, live my life without fear and move forward. I think all Cancer Survivors need that sense of hope, of life moving forward. You can't get stuck worrying.
